The Atlas® PX16A is a 16,000 lb capacity scissor alignment lift built for professional shops that need heavy-duty capability without sacrificing floor space. Designed for everything from passenger cars to long-wheelbase vans and service trucks, it supports wheelbases from 96" to 184" and includes built-in alignment turntables and slip plates as standard. Its narrow footprint makes it especially useful in busy bays where space efficiency matters, while still handling high-capacity commercial work.
What sets the PX16A apart is its purpose-built alignment design. The integrated slip plates and recessed turntable positions allow precise suspension and steering adjustments without additional setup, while the semi-enclosed airline routing system helps keep hoses organized and off the floor when paired with optional air accessories. The lift uses a self-contained control unit with air-operated safety locks (external air supply required), plus an emergency manual lowering system and hydraulic safety features like overload and lowering-speed valves. That combination keeps operation controlled and predictable even under heavy load.
This package also includes two Atlas RJ8 rolling bridge jacks, which turn the runway system into a full-service work platform. With 8,000 lb capacity per jack, they allow technicians to lift individual axles off the runways for brake work, tire service, and suspension repairs without removing the vehicle from the lift.
The PX16A is best suited for alignment-focused shops, general repair facilities, and commercial service centers that regularly handle heavier vehicles and want a dedicated alignment platform paired with flexible in-bay lifting capability. It’s backed by a 2-year structural and 1-year hydraulic warranty (parts only) and requires delivery access for a 53' truck due to freight size.
